Yanisa Mishiracho 1
1 Qaalay kasse koyro dees. Qallakka Xoossa achan dees. He qalaaykka Xoossa.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 Izee koyro Xoossa achchan dees.
This was in the beginning with God.
3 Medheteththi wurii izann medhetdes. Medhettdazan izi baynda medhetiday isiinaka dukku.
All things were made by him, and without him not a single creature was made.
4 Deyooy ezann deyssu. hana deyooya asas poo7.
In him was life, and the life was the light of man.
5 Poo77y dhumaan poo7ses. dhumayy poo7 muleeka xonena.
And the light shone in darkness, but the darkness received it not.
6 Xoossafe kiitetda Yanissa getettiza isadeey dess.
A man named John, was sent from God.
7 Iza markkatithaan asi wurii amanna malla Po77s markka giddii yidess.
This man came as a witness, to testify concerning the light, that through him, all might believe.
8 Izi poo7o gish markatana yides atiin izi ba hues po7o gidena.
He was not himself the light; but came to testify concerning the light.
9 Asa wursoos po7o imiiza tumu poo7oy hayssa ha alamezan yusan dess.
The true light was he who, coming into the world, enlightens every man.
10 Qaalayka kase alamen dess. almeykka medhetdday izana. Gido atin alameey iza erribeeyna.
He was in the world, and the world was made by him; yet the world knew him not.
11 Izi ba bagtako yiin iza bagaty iza ekiibetena.
He came to his own land, and his own people did not receive him;
12 Gido attin iza ekdaytii iza sunesaa amaniddayta isti xossa naytia gidana maata isstass iimdess.
but to as many as received him, believing in his name, he granted the privilege of being children of God;
13 Isttikka xossa nayta gididay xoossafe yelettida gish attin asa zeerethafe heskka asa wogan woykko asho shenen gidena.
who derive their birth not from blood, nor from the desire of the flesh, nor from the will of man, but from God.
14 Qaallayka ass giddies, Xossa kiyatethinne tumann kumidii nunaan aqqides, Isi nass awa matan diza bonchoo milatza iza booncho nu beydos.
And the Word became incarnate, and sojourned amongst us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, ) full of favor and truth.
15 Yanssaykka “tappe guyera yizaysi tafe adhees, gasooyka izi tape kaseka dess gada ta intees yotidaysi hekoo haysi izako” gii matatidess.
(It was concerning him John testified, when he cried, This is He of whom I said, He that comes after me, is preferred to me; for he was before me.)
16 Iza kumetha kiyatethan nu wuri keyatetha bolla kiyateth ekkidos.
Of his fulness we all have received, even favor for favor's sake;
17 Wogay musse baggara immetidas, kiyatethine tumay gidiikoo Yesuss Kirsitosa baggara nusii yidess.
for the law was given by Moses--the favor and the truth came by Jesus Christ.
18 Xooss beyedaye oonnkka bawa, gido attin Xossa aawa matan diza xoossa na xoossay issay xalala iza qonccissidess.
No one ever saw God; it is the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, who has made him known.
19 Ayhudata dannatii Yerusalamappe qeessistane Lewe nayetta Yanssakoo kitidii “ne oonee?” gidi oychchishin,
Now this is the testimony of John. When the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem, to ask him, Who are you?
20 Yanssay “tani Kiristtosa gidikee” gidi geshshi markkatides attin markkatanas ixxibeyna.
he acknowledged, and denied not, but acknowledged, saying, I am not the Messiah.
21 Isttika “histtine ne oonne? ne Elassa? gidi oychchida, izki gidike” gidi isttas zaaridess, Isttika “izi yana kittetida nabey nene?” gida. izika “akaye tana gidke” gidas.
And they asked him, Who, then? Are you Elijah? He said, I am not. Are you the prophet? He answered, No.
22 Istii qaas “histin ne onee? nuna kitda asas nu yotanamalla ne nena ona gay?” gida.
They said, Tell, then, who you are, that we may return an answer to them who sent us. What do you say of yourself?
23 Izika “nabe Isayasay yootidaysa mala tani xoossa ogge suriistte gishe bazoo biitann wasiizade qalla girethth” gidess.
He answered, I am he whose voice proclaims in the wilderness, "Make straight the way of the Lord," as said, the Prophet Isaiah.
24 parssawistappe kittettda issi issi asati
Now they who were sent, were of the Pharisees.
25 Hesa gish “ne Xoossi kittidade woykko buroo yana getetida nabaye nene gidontta gidikoo hstiin azaas nuna xmaqqazi?” gidii iza oychchida.
And they questioned him further, Why, then, do you immerse, if you be not the Messiah, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?
26 Yanssaykka istasi hzgidass “ta haththn xamaqqays gido atiin inte eroontadey inte giddon eqqides.
John answered, I immerse in water, but there is one among you whom you know not.
27 Tappe guyera yanaysi iza, ta iza ccama qachcho birshanass besizade gidikke.
It is he who comes after me, and was before me; whose shoe-string I am not worthy to loose.
28 Haysi wuri haniday Yanssay xamiqqiza Yordanosse shshafappe he pinththan diza Biitaniyaa getetiza katamana. Biitaniyay
This happened at Bethabara, upon the Jordan, where John was immersing.
29 “Wonteththa glass Yanissay Yasussay beeko yishshin beydi (deree nagara biitappe digana Xoossa doorssay hekko hysichchi!
On the next day, John sees Jesus coming to him, and says, Behold the Lamb of God, that takes away the sin of the world.
30 Tapee guyerra yanayysi izi tappe kassekka diza gish tappe adhdhess) gada ta intess yotizzay haysichch!
This is He, concerning whom I said, After me a man comes, who is preferred to me; for he was before me.
31 Takaa ta bagaraa iza eraabeyke shin gidikooka izi Isra7ele deress qonchnamala ta haththan xxamaqashshe yadiss.”
As for me, I knew him not; but, that he might be made manifest to Israel, I am come immersing in water.
32 Kaleththidika Yanissayy hizgi markatidess. “Xiiloo Ayanay woole kafoo milattdii salopee woodhishshinne iza bolla uttshin beyadiss.
John testified further, saying, I saw the spirit descending from heaven, like a dove, and remaining upon him.
33 Ta tabagara iza eriike shin ta haththan xmaqqanamalla tana kiitidadey (Xiilloo Ayanay iza bola wodhidi shempishshin nee beyanadey Xiiloo Ayanan meccnay izakko) gidii tas yoottidess.
For my part, I should not have known him, had not He, who sent me to immerse in water, told me, Upon whom you shall see the Spirit descending, and remaining, the same is He who immerses in the Holy Spirit.
34 Taka hessa beyadiss. Hessa gish izi Xoossa na gididaysa ta markatays.”
Having, therefore, seen this, I testify that he is the Son of God.
35 Wontetha galass Yanissay bena kaliza nam7atara heen eqqides.
The next day, John, being with two of his disciples,
36 Yesussay iza achchara adhdhishshn Yanissay beydii “Xoossa dorssay hekkoo haysichch!” gides.
observed Jesus passing, and said, Behold the Lamb of God.
37 Yanssa kalliza nam7ati hessa siiydii Yesussa kallida.
The two disciples hearing this, followed Jesus.
38 Istii iza kaliishshn yesussa guye yuuy xellidii “ayy kooyetii?” gidees. Istkka “asstamaare ne dussasoy awaa?” gida.
And Jesus turning about, saw them following, and said to them, What do you seek? They answered, Rabbi, (which signifies Teacher, ) where do you dwell?
39 Izikka ista “ha ydii beyte” gidess. Hessa gish bidii izii awan dizakko be7idane he gllass izara isppe pe7ida. Wodeykka gedee tamuu sateso bidess.
He replied, Come, and see. They went, and saw where he dwelt, and it being about the tenth hour, abode with him that day.
40 Yanissay yotida qaala siydii Yesussa kallida nam7atappe issay Simoona Phixiroossa ishsha Indirassa.
One of the two, who, having heard John, followed Jesus, was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter.
41 Indirassay koyroo ba ishsha simoonakko bidinne “Xoossi kitida kirstossa nu demidos!” gidess.
The first he met, was his own brother, Simon; to whom he said, We have found the Messiah, (a name equivalent to Christ.)
42 Hesafe guye Indirassay Simoona Yesussakko ekii yides. Yesussaykka iza tishsh hisiti xelidii. “hayso ne Yoonna na Simoonakko, hayssafe guye ne Keehaaththaa geetistana.” Kehaaththaa gusi Phixrossa gusa wyykoo zlaa shuchu gusa.
And he brought him to Jesus. Jesus, looking upon him, said, You are Simon, the son of Jona; you shall be called Cephas, (which denotes the same as Peter.)
43 Wonteththa gallas Yesusay Galilla banass koydees. Piliphoosska demiidi “tana kalla” gidess.
The next day, he resolved to go to Galilee, and meeting Philip, said to him, Follow me.
44 Pilphoossaykka Indirasamalane Phixiroossamala Batesaydda kattama asa.
Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
45 Piphoossay natina7ele demiidi “Mussey woga maxxafan qase nabetiikka burope hanana yotiza bee maxxafatann iza gish xafida adeza nuu demidos, izikka Yosefo na Nazirete Yesussakko” gides.
Philip meets Nathanael, and says to him, We have found the person described by Moses in the law, and by the prophets, Jesus, the son of Joseph, of Nazareth.
46 Natina7eley qass “Nazireteppe lo7o miishi beti erizee?” gi oychin Pilphossay iza “ha yada beya” gides.
Nathanael says to him, Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip answered, Come and see.
47 Natina7eley Yesussa beyana yishin yesussay beydi iza “hekko geney bayndda tumu Isra77ele ass!” giidi iza gish yotidess.
Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said, concerning him, Behold an Israelite, indeed, in whom is no guile.
48 Natina77eleykka zaridi “tana woosta eradii?” gi oychin Yesussaykka “Pilipoossay nena xeyiganappe kase Balasse miththa garsan ne dishshin ta nena beyaddis” gi zarin.
Nathanael said to him, Whence do you know me? Jesus answered, I saw you when you were under the fig tree, before Philip called you.
49 Natina77eleay “asstammarea! ne Xoossa na ne Israe77ele kawo” gides.
Nathanael replying, said to him, Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel.
50 Yesussaykka izas “ne amaniiday ta neena baallass miththa garsan beyadis” gidagsshe? ne buro hessafe adhdhiza daro miish beyana.
Jesus answered him, saying, Because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree, you believe!
51 Gujidikka ta intes tumu gays buro sallooy dooyetin Xoossa kiitanchati asa na bolla wdhishininne kezishin inte beyana.
He added, Most assuredly, I say to you, hereafter you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending from the Son of Man, and descending to him.
